Current song lyrics
I.) overture<br /><br /><br />And the meek shall inherit the earth.<br /><br />Ii.) the temples of syrinx<br /><br />... the massive grey walls of the temples rise from the<br />Heart of every federation city. I have always been awed<br />By them, to think that every single facet of every life is<br />Regulated and directed from within! our books, our music,<br />Our work and play are all looked after by the benevolent<br />Wisdom of the priests...<br /><br />Weve taken care of everything<br />The words you hear the songs you sing<br />The pictures that give pleasure to your eyes<br />Its one for all and all for one<br />We work together common sons<br />Never need to wonder how or why<br /><br />We are the priests of the temples of syrinx<br />Our great computers fill the hallowed halls<br />We are the priests of the temples of syrinx<br />All the gifts of life are held within our walls<br /><br />Look around this world we made<br />Equality our stock in trade<br />Come and join the brotherhood of man<br />Oh what a nice contented world<br />Let the banners be unfurled<br />Hold the red star proudly high in hand<br /><br />We are the priests of the temples of syrinx<br />Our great computers fill the hallowed halls.<br />We are the priests of the temples of syrinx<br />All the gifts of life are held within our walls.<br /><br />Iii.) discovery<br /><br />... behind my beloved waterfall, in the little room that was<br />Hidden beneath the cave, I found it. I brushed away the<br />Dust of the years, and picked it up, holding it reverently in<br />My hands. I had no idea what it might be, but it was<br />Beautiful ...<br />... I learned to lay my fingers across the wires, and to turn<br />The keys to make them sound differently. as I struck the<br />Wires with my other hand, I produced my first harmonious<br />Sounds, and soon my own music! how different it could<br />Be from the music of the temples! I cant wait to tell the<br />Priests about it! ...<br /><br />What can this strange device be?<br />When I touch it, it gives forth a sound<br />Its got wires that vibrate and give music<br />What can this thing be that I found?<br /><br />See how it sings like a sad heart<br />And joyously screams out its pain<br />Sounds that build high like a mountain<br />Or notes that fall gently like rain<br /><br />I cant wait to share this new wonder<br />The people will all see its light<br />Let them all make their own music<br />The priests praise my name on this night<br /><br />Iv.) presentation<br /><br />... in the sudden silence as I finished playing, I looked up<br />To a circle of grim, expressionless faces. father brown<br />Rose to his feet, and his somnolent voice echoed<br />Throughout the silent temple hall. ...<br />... instead of the grateful joy that I expected, they were<br />Words of quiet rejection! instead of praise, sullen<br />Dismissal. I watched in shock and horror as father brown<br />Ground my precious instrument to splinters beneath his<br />Feet...<br /><br />I know its most unusual<br />To come before you so<br />But Ive found an ancient miracle<br />I thought that you should know<br /><br />Listen to my music<br />And hear what it can do<br />Theres something here as strong as life<br />I know that it will reach you<br /><br />Yes, we know its nothing new<br />Its just a waste of time<br />We have no need for ancient ways<br />The world is doing fine<br /><br />Another toy will help destroy<br />The elder race of man<br />Forget about your silly whim<br />It doesnt fit the plan<br /><br />I cant believe youre saying<br />These things just cant be true<br />Our world could use this beauty<br />Just think what we might do<br /><br />Listen to my music<br />And hear what it can do<br />Theres something here as strong as life<br />I know that it will reach you<br /><br />Dont annoy us further<br />We have our work to do<br />Just think about the average<br />What use have they for you?<br /><br />Another toy will help destroy<br />The elder race of man<br />Forget about your silly whim<br />It doesnt fit the plan<br /><br />V.) oracle: the dream<br />... I guess it was a dream, but even now it all seems so<br />Vivid to me. clearly yet I see the beckoning hand of the<br />Oracle as he stood at the summit of the staircase ...<br />... I see still the incredible beauty of the sculptured cities<br />And the pure spirit of man revealed in the lives and works<br />Of this world. I was overwhelmed by both wonder and<br />Understanding as I saw a completely different way to life,<br />A way that had been crushed by the federation long ago. i<br />Saw now how meaningless life had become with the loss<br />Of all these things ...<br /><br />I wandered home though silent streets<br />And fell into a fitful sleep<br />Escape to realms beyond the night<br />Dream cant you show me the light?<br /><br />I stand atop a spiral stair<br />An oracle confronts me there<br />He leads me on light years away<br />Through astral nights, galactic days<br /><br />I see the works of gifted hands<br />That grace this strange and wondrous land<br />I see the hand of man arise<br />With hungry mind and open eyes<br /><br />They left the planets long ago<br />The elder race still learn and grow<br />Their power grows with purpose strong<br />To claim the home where they belong<br />Home, to tear the temples down...<br />Home, to change..<br /><br />Vi.) soliloquy<br />... I have not left this cave for days now, it has become<br />My last refuge in my total despair. I have only the music of<br />The waterfall to comfort me now. I can no longer live<br />Under the control of the federation, but there is no other<br />Place to go. my last hope is that with my death I may pass<br />Into the world of my dream, and know peace at last.<br /><br />The sleep is still in my eyes<br />The dream is still in my head<br />I heave a sigh and sadly smile<br />And lie a while in bed<br />I wish that it might come to pass<br />Not fade like all my dreams<br /><br />Just think of what my life might be<br />In a world like I have seen<br />I dont think I can carry on<br />Carry on this cold and empty life<br />Oh...noo!<br /><br />My spirits are low in the depths of despair<br />My lifeblood spills over..<br /><br />Vii.) grand finale<br />Attention all planets of the solar federation<br />Attention all planets of the solar federation<br />Attention all planets of the solar federation<br />We have assumed control.<br />We have assumed control.<br />We have assumed control.
